Something Weird on an Oak Tree.

These things came off of my neighbors oak tree. The little ball is opaque, gelatinous, and has something green inside it. It is stuck to the leaf. the other is a hollow ball of something. Maybe a gall? Something is shedding white stuff. Probably the big ball. My mouse is in the background for scale. Anybody have any idea what in the world these things are?

Hey--I was here. Saw your gall stones...so sorry. Probably should have them removed...hehehehe. Read about the bus and the rose on hormone therapy--way too funny. Saw too that you went on a wild flower chase and also let your cats play in the fish pond. So what have you been doing in your off time? I see insomnia is on your sidebar and maybe that is how you get so much done.

Well just wanted you to know that I stopped by and let you know I read the last few chapters in your life and thoroughly enjoyed the journey. I'll be back soon. Hugs!

Well, I've seen those oak galls before, but never the weird gelatinous eyeball thing. Do you think it's an infant gall, or some alien life form that's beaming info about us earthlings back up to the mother ship?!
